And I actually made a card. It's an extremely belated birthday card for my husband's nephew, who was 19 some time back, and with one thing and another, I only just got to make his card. I'm sure he won't mind, since I put some extra guilt money inside!! Here's what I made:
I used the sketch from this week's Friday Sketchers, and am also entering this into Creative Card Crew ("birthdays") and Simon Says Stamp ("Anything Goes").
I used the same Mo Manning digi stamp that I used for another 19 year old's card back in September. Mo's images are just so clever, and great to colour. After I had finished the card, I realised I ought to have put something else on, maybe a few metal things, brads or suchlike, but it was too late - all was stuck down. Oh well!! Here's a close-up of the image:
Recipe:
Papers: Basic Grey "Granola"
Image: "Simon" by Mo Manning
Colouring Medium: Distress Inks
Other: Hairy String, needle + thread, bronze crackle paint (on numbers)
Thanks for looking! Next on my list is yet another baby girl card, again a bit belated.
